Yup.  It would be good to have a registry of available completers, so
that users can also call

register_completer('foo') and have that work.  Such a registry could
key off 'foo' and set the appropriate function call, key pattern, etc.
 Then, the all call would just be

def register_all_completers():
  map(register_completer,COMP_REGISTRY)

Or something along those lines.
